Miller published books are USA created content and printed in glorious black and white (the I Love You cover art is by an unknown UK artist - who provided many cover illustrations). I imagine the Streamline is the same (USA content/UK cover art), but I've been focusing on L. Miller. The advertising in them is "original content".

Popular Post davidtere Posted October 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2021 I was box kicking the other day and rediscovered this amongst stuff that I haven't seen in awhile. I always liked the weird cover composition, with the swing being so high in the air (higher than the fence Freddie is trying to build). Probably not rare, but fun nevertheless. damonwad, adamstrange, mustang33guy and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is pretty rare. Can't remember seeing a copy before. As an aside, I do wish CGC would make up its mind about whether Superior books are Canadian or not. They seem to go back and forth on the question. davidtere and Dr. Love 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard not to wonder how many young women were scared off of actual romance completely from this nutty series... every issue seems to feature at least one story where a woman's suitor turns out to be a serial killer. Sheesh! This one serves up the goods with the lead story "Terror Stalks The Lonely Heart." With stories like that, her brother will read it, too!

It may qualify as the earliest candidate for GGA. I also believe it's the earliest bondage cover. This is great. Never seen anyone point this out before.

Seems like they may not have sold well because you see a few titles that started with drawn covers that went over to photos mid run, only to go back to drawn again later in the run. I wonder whether it might also have had something to do with non-comic magazines aimed at pre-teen and teen girls mostly having photo covers? Perhaps the thinking was that photo covers was the approach to use when aiming at that market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waaaghboss Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Figure this is the correct place to ask. Am I trippin, or is True Life Secrets 25 a follow-up to True Life Secrets 23?
